Psalm 85

¹You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.

²You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah

³You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

⁴Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

⁵Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

⁶Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

⁷Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

⁸I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

⁹Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

¹¹Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

¹²The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

¹³Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
